Light on biography, heavy on film analysis. Verdict: Terrific!
As a fan of Julie Christie, an actress of intelligence and well- documented beauty, I found this biography a real treat. I already knew a lot about her life (which, since she is a woman who shuns the spotlight and many of the excesses that make for good, trashy, celebrity bios...is pretty uneventful) so I really loved that so much of the book is devoted to analyzing individual films and providing behind-the-scenes info.
An easy, accessible read and a fitting look at the career of an endlessly fascinating actress.

For Julie Christie Fans
I was born after Julie Christie's prime, and therefore didn't know much about her. After watching Dr. Zhivago, I was intrigued to know more. This book was definitely helpful in fulfilling my curiosity. It is an easy read; it's definitely not as convoluted as some actresses biographies are (i.e. Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe). There's not hundreds of names thrown at you every which way, which helps it to not be too confusing. It gave a good sense of who Julie Christie was and is. It also goes into detail for her most important films. There are 16 pages of pictures (most black and white). The chapters are:
1Early Days
2Reluctant Star
3Billy Liar
4Birmingham, Moscow, New York
5Darling Julie
6Doctor Zhivago
7'And the winner is...'
